Floats aren't necessarily needed, just some good low pressure tyres. Hydroplane up onto a nice convenient gravel bar.

On the one hand you have Cressida Dick saying Boris Johnson's cycle in east London at the weekend was "not against the law", but then goes on to say that the "stay local" rules on exercise for England could be made more clear, implying he may have broken a rule.
The police can only enforce the law and e.g. issue a fixed penalty notice if they believe the law to have been broken. They cannot enforce rules or guidance that have no legal standing. I am therefore unsure how clarifying a rule makes any difference from a strictly legal standpoint.
The law makers may have looked at the pros and cons of having rather vague laws against something much more prescriptive and decided to go with the present situation and accept there might be some controversies, on the basis much of the general public is likely simply to go along with the spirit of the government’s intentions, especially if the manner in which the message is by and large promulgated is that the rules and guidance are in fact the law.
